Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro Save button grayed out

I have a user with Windows 7 with a fresh install of Adobe acrobat 8 pro and everytime you open a pdf and type in it the Save button is grayed out. You can go to Save file as but why is the Save button grayed out? I have ran updates and even removed it again and reinstalled still the Save button is grayed out? I even created a new pdf with just test word in it and saved it to desktop the button was still grayed out when i reopened it.

Only the fully updated Acrobat 9 and Acrobat X products support use under Windows 7.

  • Save button grayed out

    Kartz, any answer to this yet?  I have the same issue,  I open a file, make some changes, and the standard SAVE button is grayed out.  An asterik appears in the file name, so I know that means my change is acknowledged, but the Save button stays grayed out.

    Hi, Thomas. We'd like to help, but do need more information to do so.
    Where is your file stored?
    e.g. your Desktop, Documents folder, an external hard drive, network file share, etc.
    Does this issue occur all of the time, or only sometimes?
    What version of Dreamweaver are you using?
    On what operating system, including version?
    (e.g. Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1, Mac OS 10.6.8, etc.)
    As a comparison test, please create a new file in Dreamweaver using one of the included layouts (e.g. 3-column liquid), save the file to your Desktop, and then make a change. Does the same issue occur with this file at all?

  • Adobe Reader 11 Save button greyed out

    Hi,
    I just installed Adobe Reader 11 and noticed that the Save button is greyed out when opening a file from a web browser.
    Every time, I have to go to File>Save as and select the location.
    Any idea ?

    Same problem here after updating from version X to version XI. Of course, version X had the same problem. I'm using Windows XP.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro cannot save as word doc

    Adobe Acrobat Pro - Save as failed to process this document. No file was created.

    The File
    (1) The file has to be a PDF.
    (2) The file has to be a PDF that is adequately ISO 32000 compliant (a 'good' PDF).
    Number (2) is why, for most PDFs - most times, the export process chokes.
    (& no being of file extension "pdf" does not mean the 'good' PDF was created)
    The application.
    Consider a cold reboot.
    Ensure Acrobat is fully updated.
    Ensure Acrobat version is compatible with OS
    Consider doing an Acrobat "repair".
    If one goes the deactivate/uninstall route consider using the "cleaner" tool.

  • I have developed a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The form has several fields and some of the information is captured in a bar code. What programs must be used to open the form to properly fill the form out?  Adobe Reader, Adobe Xi, Ibook, etc.. I

    I have created a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro that contains several data fields with some feeding data to a barcode in the document.  I have a "button" set up to save and send the completed form one it is completed.  Some of the user are having troubles filling out the form as they are using various programs to do such as iBook, Adobe Reader, etc....  Sometimes the information is not transferred to the barcode and sometimes the "submittal button" doesn't function properly.
    Please provide a solution or give me a list of the programs that must be used to properly open and fill out the form.
    Greatly appreciated.

    Best option is to use Adobe Reader (or Acrobat, of course) on a desktop computer (ie, not on a mobile device). Any other configuration is likely to be problematic.

  • How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central.

    How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central. It's for an online Diet Questionnaire. After people complete the form I'd like them to click "SUBMIT" and the completed form will be emailed to me.

    This can be a bit confusing because Acrobat 11 comes with the desktop app that allows you to create simple PDF forms without having a FormsCentral account. Some people find this helpful, but you need to understand that when you generate the PDF form, it is Reader-enabled by Acrobat. In order to edit the form further in Acrobat, you have to create a non-enabled copy of the form. You do this in Acrobat by opening the form and selecting: File > Save a Copy
    and opening the copy. It is not opened automatically.
    You can now add a button and set it up to submit by email, either using a "Submit a form" action or the submitForm JavaScript method. You can set it up to include just the form data or the entire PDF, and will want to use a mailto type URL. Submitting the form to the FormsCentral server has a number of important advantages over email (much more reliable, more secure, etc.), so you might want to consider it.
    If the form needs to be saved with Reader versions prior to 11, then you will need to Reader-enable the document. In Acrobat 11 you do this by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 Won't Let me Save a Filled PDF Form

    Hi,
    I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 to fill out financial forms for my budget and finance department. The thing is, I can only print the form out when completed, but can't save it (I use "Save As" and rename the file).
    When I do "Save As," the next time I pull up the form I see the data I inputted for a split second and then it is all erased automatically.
    This is frustrating as I need the data to be available every time I open the form.
    I am using Windows XP Professional on a Dell Optiplex 755 with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 @ 3.00GHz with 1.96 GB RAM. Again, I am not using Reader, I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0.
    Thanks!

    There is probably some JavaScript either as a document level script or page open action that is clearing the fields. If you edit your preferences you can turn off Acrobat's JavaScript,but this will also prevent calculations for running as they use JavaScript.
    You could also export the the data as an FDF file and then import the data after the form is opened.

  • I can not open a filled out pdf-form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X

    I have a form in Indesign CS 5.5 and made it fillable with Adobe Acrobat Pro X. I enabled the 'additional features' to make the document a 'Reader extended pdf'. Whoever I send the form now, can fill it out and save it in (the free version of) Adobe Reader.
    Problem is: when the recipients mail the filled out form back to me, I can not open the document. There is message that says: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
    However, when I receive the filled-out file not by email (MS Outlook on a IMac) but on a USB-stick or something, I can manage to open the document the way it was filled out.
    I'm guessing something goes wrong in the mailing process...
    Can anyone help me please?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the advice!
    I'm afraid though that the problem is situated with the provider of the sender (when I open the email with my hotmail or gmail-account, it' s the same problem).
    The idea of compressing the forms into zip-files is not very usefull because - i'm guessing - 90% of the recipients have never heard about a zip-file and are surely incapable of making one.
    Some other ideas?
    Thank you though!

  • HT3678 I purchased Quick time pro, went through the steps above. When I go to save the video save is grayed out and it says I need to purchase quicktime pro.

    I purchased Quick time pro, went through the steps above to install.
    When I go to save the video save is grayed out and it says I need to purchase quicktime pro.

    Quicktime Pro will do full screen streaming videos that are compatible with Quicktime installed Codecs. If the video of the Olympics on the website has a specific URL to go straight to the video, then yes, you can call upon it with Quicktime Pro's player and then watch it fullscreen.
    If the video of the Olympics was embedded such a way that you can't find the direct link to the video, then the limitation is how the webpage is designed. Thanks to Flip4Mac, there is now also a Windows Media codec you can install for Quicktime as well:
    http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm
    Although some video software like Elgato's EyeTV don't work with it yet. If you are using Elgato's software, don't download it, and rather download Windows Media Player for Mac OS X:
    http://tinyurl.com/26pxg
    if the video is in Windows Media.
    If the video is in Realplayer, click on the Realplayer Free button on the upper right corner of:
    http://www.real.com/player/?src=realaudio
    You can enter a dummy address and password if you don't want Real's offers.
    If it is still a question of not being able to determine the true link to the video, try using different Mac web browsers to see what result you get:

  • How can I add a button to add multiple image in PDF from using adobe acrobat pro?

    I have to create a pdf form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X.
    In this form I want to add a button where I can add multiple images to the field.
    I have tried using javascript event.target.buttonImportIcon(); and successfully add an image, but when I want to add the 2nd image it automatically overwrites the previous one.
    Is there any way to solve this issue? I would like to have a form where I can add a lot of images in it. It is possible in word, but we really have to use adobe.
    Thanks

    Hi thanks for your answer.
    I can add multiple button, but if there are 10 images that I wan to add, then I have to create 10 buttons.
    Moreover, the pictures will be placed on top of each other and it means that you cannot see it clearly.

  • I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

    I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

    Acrobat XI is not distributed with Designer. Designer is now a separate product. You can create forms in Acrobat as an AcroForm or using Forms Central (an online forms program). You can print the form to a new PDF and then recreate the fields in Acrobat using the recognize form fields. You will likely have to fix the form fields, but that would be the process. Generally, once a form is taken to Designer, you can't bring it back without such steps.
    Designer is available with AA8 - AAX, but since is a separate product as I indicated.

  • I was able to open a pdf document but was unable to save to my computer.  I have adobe acrobat pro x

    I was able to open a pdf document but was unable to save to my computer.  I have adobe acrobat pro xi.  the message i received was.  "the document could not be saved.  there was a problem reading the document (8)."
    I was able to convert it to a Word document  and then save, but I should not have to do that.

    Did you try a Save As? What OS? Have you updated Acrobat?
    Another alternative is to print to a new PDF. That is probably a better work flow than going to WORD and back.
